IT'S OVER!

Live Forever

During Katya and Neil’s routine, the married couple were seen pretending to wheeze and mocking unfit dancers as they competed against a host of other dancers who were dressed in regular glitzy
outfits.

The couple came second in their performance

And the pair, whose dance has been shared and viewed by over 1million people on YouTube, were even placed second in the competition – despite their controversial and “offensive” theme.

A host of fans have even admitted that the routine would “discourage” overweight people from being active.

Their routine was branded childish and offensive

Deidre Miller slammed: “Schoolyard “humour.” Very childish and offensive. This kind of thing discourages heavy people from being physically active - they assume they’ll just be laughed at.”

The pair are currently mid-way through professional dancers' rehearsals for this year’s Strictly, which is due back on screens next month.

The couple are set to star on Strictly's next season

A spokesperson for Neil and Katya said: “Neil and Katya’s show-dance was never intended to offend – it was a performance for which they won second place in the Professional Latin World Show-dance Championship.”
